A requirement for NF-protocadherin and TAF1/Set in cell adhesion and neural tube formation

Article Abstract:

Using a sudy on Xenopus embryos, the role of NF-protocadherin and its partner TAF1/Set in cell-cell interactions and adhesions in neural folds and hence in neurulation, is discussed.

The mouse Ovol2 gene is required for cranial neural tube development

Article Abstract:

Using a study on mice, the role of Ovo genes, especially Oval2, in neuroectoderm patterning, neural development regulation, and mammalian embryogenesis, is examined.
